Baltimore Ravens — Madden NFL 17 eGuide

Expect nothing less than another solid season from QB Joe Flacco, where he will look to build on his touchdown/interception ratio. The Ravens’ offensive line should give Flacco plenty of time to look downfield this year.
HB Justin Forsett proved that he deserves not only the starting spot in Baltimore, but also a new contract. Even if Forsett can repeat his success, start building some more options at the backup spot.
WR Steve Smith showed he still had some gas left in the tank with another solid season. Develop some young talent at the receiving corps to replace the veteran in a few seasons.

Finding a solid player like Brandon Williams at DT allowed the Ravens to get younger and save money on veterans. The youth on the team is excellent and talented, so keep developing Williams.
The Ravens have had some fresh talent injected in their LB corps over the last few seasons. Keep getting whatever is left from Terrell Suggs, but never bet against him.
Jimmy Smith is a physical press corner who can excel in any scheme. On the other side, Lardarius Webb is a good man-to-man CB who lacks the ability to play all-out press coverage. Note your matchups and keep Smith lined up against any star wideouts.

Smith has an excellent receiving record and continues to grow his confidence by increasing this record.
Use everything you can with Steve Smith this year because there’s no telling how long he will stay in the league.

Weddle’s zone coverage makes him a super power on the field, giving him a great advantage against most offenses.
Weddle is quick and can see the field better than most. It’s best to let the CPU play Weddle and take over the defense.

Continue to work on Dixon’s Carry rating. Boosting this number will ensure he is a solid option in critcal situations.
Take control of Dixon and use the new ball-carrier mechanic. His agility can get you points in the red zone.

There’s always a place in the lineup for 90 Hit Power, even if it means special teams.
Elam looked to be a promising talent, so don’t give up on him even if means you must user-control him.
